40 Gorgeous Reasons to Visit Our No. 1 Travel Destination for 2016

From impressive waterfalls, glaciers, and volcanic landscapes to the colorful city of Reykjavik, our well-traveled BT audience gives you a virtual tour of this unbelievable must-see destination.

"As I was wandering around the Icelandic countryside, I felt like this scene didn't even look real. The combination of two different types of landscapes, which would each be beautiful individually, was amazing!"

"Jökulsárlón (Glacier Lagoon), Iceland's largest glacial lake with its highest mountain in the background. The lagoon has formed over the past 35 years by the retreat of one of the tongues of the Vatnajökull Glacier, which still covers 8% of the island."

"Morning view from our room at the Hotel Ísafjörður. Ísafjörður is the largest town in the Westfjords with a population of about 4,000. The hotel is on a moraine in the middle of the fjord, which provided this scenic view up the length of the fjord."

"The southern portion of the Ring Road, which goes around the perimeter of Iceland, leads to Skaftafell National Park, home to the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Pieces of ice constantly break off from the inland glaciers, leaving the lagoon filled with floating icebergs."

"The Hallgrímskirkja Church in Reykjavik, Iceland, is a beautiful building and unique inside and out. If you have a chance, attend some kind of service as the acoustics are spectacular. The views from the top are also very nice."
